Community grants set to boost the Maranoa region
Published on 11 February 2026
Community and not-for-profit organisations across the Maranoa can apply for assistance to achieve their vision thanks to the opening of round two in Council’s Community Grants Program.
The second round opened Monday, 9 February 2026 and it closes on Friday, 27 March 2026.
Whether they are looking to secure funding for their next project or activity, all community and not-for-profit groups across the region are encouraged to apply.
Spokesperson for Economic Development and Events, Councillor Johanne Hancock said Council values the work of community groups and are pleased to be able to support them through the grants.
“Council recognises the valuable contribution these groups make to the liveability of our region,” Cr Hancock said.
“These community grants support the volunteers who do so much to keep the community strong while opening new doors to exciting opportunities and growth.
“We look forward to seeing the projects that apply for funding and the impact they will have with the assistance we can offer.”
One of the grant categories is Small Grants, sponsored by Senex Energy.
Senex Community Relations Manager, Trevor Robertson said Senex is proud to have partnered with Maranoa Regional Council since 2019 to support projects of local organisations through the joint Small Community Grants program.
“With Senex’s support these grants have funded local clubs, associations and organisations to host events and improve facilities,” Mr Robertson said.
“Partnering with Maranoa Regional Council allows Senex to directly support the community it lives, works and operates in.
“These small grants make a big difference and have a very real and direct impact by making our community just that little bit better.”
There are two types of grants available:
- Small Grant (co-funded by Senex Energy): $500 - $5,000
- Major Grant: $5,001 - $20,000
They come under six categories:
- Community Development
- Community Programs and Services
- Culture & Heritage
- Environment
- Economic Development
- Sport & Recreation
